Happy Birthday Auntie Dena!

Happy Birthday to my big sister, Dena. On this day in 1974, my parents' firstborn came into the world about 3 years before me. She's an artist (she can draw like nobody's business) and a lover of all things nature (she works for the U.S. Forest Service). She currently lives in Grand Rapids, Minnesota, but she's lived in Colorado & South Carolina in the past few years too. When we were children, Dena would practice drawing, and I thought I would be as good as she was when I got to be her age. Nope, not even close. I did not inherit our mother's talent like she did. Stick figures maybe, but that's it. Here she is with Cosette a few months ago. I also have a younger sister (Jaime) & brother (Brandon).
